Win Wenger, Ph.D., author of several books on the study of genius,
including Discovering the Obvious and How To Increase Your
Intelligence, and co-author of The Einstein Factor, has discovered that
we can, in fact, improve our intelligence. Renowned in his field, he has
been studying these intelligence-acceleration techniques for over 30
years.
He explains that if brain injury can negatively affect brain functioning,
then intelligence inducing exercises can likewise stimulate brain
functions for improved performance. As he shares his passion and
delight in the discoveries that he has made regarding accelerated
learning and the study of the mind, Win Wenger will inevitably draw
you into your own experiential experiments that will undoubtedly lead
you to your own conclusions; results that may astonish you.
In this program Win Wenger gives you captivating historical stories of
geniuses such as Albert Einstein, along with empirical evidence that
supports his theory of one’s ability to improve their intelligence
(reminding you that the IQ is only one partial measure of intellectual
aptitude). In addition, he provides you with experiential exercises that
you can do to actually substantially improve your IQ.
This guidebook should be used as a tool to aid you in further
exploration into the powers of your own genius mind. Some of the
processes may seem a bit of a stretch, but like the exceptional
geniuses before you, you are encouraged to open your mind and have
fun exploring the extraordinary world of possibilities. It cannot be
emphasized enough how necessary it is to do these experiential
exercises to get the full benefit of this powerful audio program. Take
the time to work your way through this guidebook and actually practice
and experiment with the exercises that are provided. First and
foremost, enjoy this journey of discovery you are about to embark
upon.

Session 1: Are You a Genius? Yes!
In this session, Win Wenger shares a fascinating story of the mind’s
capacity. He points out that mathematician, John Von Neumann once
calculated that the human brain can store up to two hundred and
eighty quintillion (280,000,000,000,000,000,000) bits of memory. He
informs us that we all have a defensive relax factor he calls the
squelcher, that blocks us from achieving our full mental capacity. He
explains that from an early age the majority of us are taught to ignore
the stream of perceptions that come to us from our unconscious mind,
very valuable insights that we have come to pay little or no attention
to.
1. Win describes an experience in which a student has an image of a
faulty tire. This image actually saves him from a potentially serious
accident. Have you ever had a perception that seemed to have come
from your subconscious that related important information to you?
Do you know someone who has had such an experience? Write
about any similar experiences below.
2. Win asserts that close to 100 percent of your memories have been
stored in your subconscious. Have you ever had an experience - a
dream, a daydream, or simply a flash in your mind’s eye, of a
memory from many years prior? Write about the experience below.
3. Win cites several instances in which their teachers and peers

considered world-renowned geniuses slow and unintelligent. He
explains that evidence seems to show that it is in the various areas
that you appear to struggle intellectually that you will often find your
special genius. In what areas do you feel that you struggle most
intellectually?
4. Experimentation with rats concluded that high stimulus

environments not only elongated the lives of the rats, but also
-1-
increased their brains in size. This phenomenon concluded that the
number of inner connections between neurons in the brain (called
synapses), stimulated by mental exercise were the real measure of
genius. An abundance of synapses were also discovered in Einstein’s
brain. Given the importance of intellectual stimuli to your well-being,
on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being low and 10 being high), how much
do you stimulate your brain on a regular basis? Below list 3 ways in
which you can further stimulate your brain on a daily basis.
5. Einstein believed that you could stimulate ingenious thought by

allowing your imagination to float freely, unrestrained by
conventional inhibitions. It was discovered that verbal and
mathematical representation of his thoughts came only after the
important creative thinking was done. How much do you allow
yourself to creatively think? Do you ever consciously daydream,
meditate, or do creative visualization exercises? If so, how much do
you do each week? If not, commit to doing this at least 15 minutes
per day for a week. Chart your experiences below.
-2-
6. Win cited a situation in which he helped a boy greatly improve his
baseball batting average by having the boy imagine a tiny fly speck
on the baseball, and aiming the bat at the fly speck rather than the
ball itself. Can you come up with a similar success formula for one of
your activities, making use of this focus and concentration technique
(or Einstein Factor)? Outline it below.
7. Were there any discouraging messages you were given in your

youth regarding your intelligence and potential? If so, do not be
discouraged. You are in good company as many famous geniuses
were discouraged as well. List below some of these messages that
you received.
8. Win reminds you that your confidence is often squelched by

conventional education and job training as you learn to suppress
your natural genius. Do you remember any dreams that you had as
a child or adolescent that you did not pursue because you became
discouraged? Explore those shelved dreams in the space below.

Session 2: Dreaming, the Subconscious, and
Image Streaming
9. In this session Elias Howe’s sewing machine problem was solved
in a dream, as the cannibals chased him with spears that had holes
at their tips, suggesting that he move the eyehole of the needles in
his sewing machines to the tip as opposed to the centre. Dreams can
be very powerful problem solvers. Have you ever had a similar
experience? If so, describe it below.
10. Lucid dreaming can be extremely beneficial. Try this exercise. In

your awakened state through the day, ask yourself, “Is this a
dream?” Once this habit becomes ingrained, you will eventually
remember to ask yourself the same question while dreaming.
Continue this exercise until you answer in your dream, “Yes, this is a
dream.” This state is known as lucid dreaming. How many days did
you follow this exercise before you responded in your dream state?
What was your experience in the lucid dream? Record your findings
below.
11. The first law of behavioural psychology is that you get more of
what you reinforce. Based on this theory, Win states that by
following this exercise, you will begin to remember your dreams if
you don’t already do so. Keep a notebook or tape recorder by your
bedside. Immediately upon waking, write down or record everything
you remember from your dreams. Try this exercise for at least 3
weeks and record summaries of your findings below.

12. Win explains that now that you have mastered the lucid
dreaming technique, you can control the action in your dreams. He
gives examples of soaring through clouds, exploring underwater
realms, changing into animals, performing amazing feats at will,
conversing with interesting dream characters, and confronting fears.
List below 3 themes that you have chosen to dream about and
describe the dreams in detail.
Theme 1:
Theme 2:

13. Another opportunity you have when lucid dreaming is the ability
to stop a nightmare in its tracks and steer it toward a more pleasant
conclusion. Is there a nightmare you have had, perhaps a recurring
one, that you would like to change? In the space provided below
describe the nightmare and create a strong intention to change it.
Write about your experience in the redirected nightmare below.
14. Win states that you can dream when you are awake; in fact, you
are dreaming now. He describes his Image-Streaming Technique as
being a way to gain access to your remarkable flow of inner
perceptions. He suggests that 10 minutes of Image Streaming each
day will induce profound positive change in your life. The steps to
Image-Streaming are as follows:
Sit back in a comfortable chair, close your eyes, and describe aloud
the flow of mental images through your mind. Three factors are
crucial in doing this exercise successfully:
-7-
a) You must describe the images aloud, either to another person or
to a tape recorder.
b) You must use all five senses in your descriptions. For example, if
you see a snow covered mountain, describe how it looks, how it
tastes, its texture, its smell, the feel of the air, and the sound of
the wind howling across the peaks.
c) Phrase all of your descriptions in the present tense, as if you are
experiencing it right now.

15. The beneficial effects of the Image-Streaming Technique are
many:
a) Originally the technique was developed in order to receive
answers from the subconscious mind through imagery, an oracle
on demand.
b) Image-Streaming raises one’s IQ; people routinely gain 20 IQ
points with just 25 hours of practicing this technique.
c) Anyone who has practiced more than an hour of Image-Streaming
need never again suffer writer’s block, artist’s block, or any other
kind of creativity block.
d) When writing an essay or report, this technique also responds to
more comprehensively addressing issues (such as asking your
Image-Streaming faculties, “What have I left out?”)
e) It positively affects your self-esteem as you discover creative and
intellectual achievements from practicing the process.
f) As a learning tool, it is your built-in Socratic tutor. It builds your
understanding every time you use it. It enriches everything you
look at, hear, and experience.
g) It reduces the overwhelming condition of feeling over informed
(information overload).
How has this technique positively affected your life? Have you received
any benefits from practicing this exercise that you would like to add to
the list above?

Session 3: Ways to Open and Improve Your
Image Stream with Velvety Smooth Breathing
Through experiential exercises Win takes you on a journey to discover
how powerful multi-sensory expression can be. He gives you the
example of Walt Disney’s brilliant movie, Fantasia. Walt commingled
the senses in this movie, creating a phantasmagoria of shapes, sights,
and colors. This commingling of the senses was a wonderful example
of synesthetics, a phenomenon in which people might hear the color
red, or smell a work of art, or feel the texture of a piece of music. You
are also introduced to Description Exercises, the Velvety Smooth
Breathing Exercise, and more ImageStreaming. It is important when
doing these exercises that you be sure to incorporate all of your senses
in the experience. This stimulates certain parts of the brain, and in turn
enhances the power of the experiences.
16. Win suggests that you do the following exercise. Get a piece of
paper and a pen, or a tape recorder. Pick two corners or sections of
the room that you are in. On one side of the paper (or tape),
describe the first corner that you choose. On the other side of the
paper (or tape), describe the second corner, but with a difference.
When you describe the first corner, confine your description to terms
involving color, texture, form, feel, and your sense of position in
space. When you describe the second corner, use only abstract
terms that have nothing to do with sensory impressions. For
example, you might write that there’s a picture hanging on the wall,
an upholstered chair wedged in the corner, but nothing about how
those objects look or feel.
Take about 5 minutes to write out your description, or about 3

minutes to record it if you are using a tape recorder.
17. Now look over your results. Which description is more
interesting? Which conveys more experience? Which puts the reader
of that description more intimately in touch with the corner that’s
being described? Note your findings below.
18. Based on the findings on synesthetics, choosing to play the right

kind of background music while eating will affect the taste of the
food. Try an experiment. While eating a particular meal, play
background music that you find tranquil, beautiful, and enjoyable.
- 17 -
Conversely, while eating a similar meal, play background music that
is intrusive, harsh, and unappealing to you. How did your food taste
in each situation? Describe your findings below with each meal.
19. Like any muscle that must be exercised to become toned, your
power of description must also be developed. Take a moment and
describe the room you are in. Describe it to a friend or into a tape
recorder as if it were a telephone and your friend were on the other
end of the line. When in doubt, be sure to keep talking. There is no
right or wrong way to do this, except if you hesitate in order to edit
or if you stop yourself. Do a descriptive exercise like this one,
spending at least 5 minutes, 3 times a day for the next 5 days.
Committed practice of this technique will enhance your descriptive
power and richness of observation. Make a note of your experiences
below.

20. Now do the above exercise again at least 3 times a day for the
next 5 days, but in this case describe scenes and pictures that are
not physically in your midst. For example, your favourite place in the
world or a wonderful memory. Describe it, again being sure to use all
of your senses in the description.

21. The next exercise, which is central to Win’s tools, is an exercise
called Velvety Smooth Breathing. This exercise supplements Image-
Streaming and other like exercises by putting you in a relaxed but
alert state of mind. To do this exercise:
a) Focus on your breathing.
b) Breath in and out so smoothly that there is no pause between the
in breath and the out breath; it is all part of one long, continuous
flowing breath, like a slow, sensuous sigh that goes on and on.
c) Let each phase of that breath, each breath-stroke you as you may
stroke a smooth piece of velvet. Smooth and continuous.
d) Breathe with your entire body, as if you are breathing not only
with your chest and stomach, but also with your legs, arms,
hands, and feet.
e) Continue doing this exercise, making each new breath more
pleasurable than the last.
f) With each breath, see how much you can let go of.
g) Add flavor to the next breath, something you enjoy, perhaps
vanilla or peppermint.
h) Continue breathing deeper and deeper, letting go of more and
more.
i) Now let your breath stroke your whole body as you yourself would
stroke a strip of smooth velvet, or silk. Really smooth. Really
sleek.
j) Now mentally take a photograph of the feeling you have, as you
experience this long, Velvety Smooth Breathing.
k) Each time you go back to this breathing technique, remind
yourself of that mental photograph that you took, and this will
deepen your state of relaxation.
In this state, describe aloud to someone or into a tape recorder a

familiar person or object in richly textured detail. Describe it in such
richly textured detail that the listener would be forced to see, hear,
smell, taste, and feel what you are describing. If you are doing this
with your eyes closed, you may notice that you actually see the subject
in your mind’s eye. Practice this exercise on 3 separate occasions.
Describe below the sensations you experienced as a result of
practicing this breathing exercise. What are you feeling after doing this
exercise that you weren’t feeling before you did it? What else did you
notice?
i)
- 22 -
ii)
iii)
22. You can actually change your emotional state by simply

changing your breathing pattern. For example, to experience relief
from a situation, feeling, or condition, breathe repeatedly and slowly
great sighs of relief (exhale). Within 2 or 3 minutes of doing this, you
will find yourself experiencing profound relief. Try this exercise and
describe below how you felt prior to doing this exercise and then
how you felt afterwards.
- 23 -
Session 4: Image Streaming
Image-Streaming is the focus of this session. Win takes you on a step-
by-step ImageStreaming exercise. Remain alert and nonjudgmental,
and have fun exploring the workings of your subconscious inner
genius.
23. Now you are ready for spontaneous Image-Streaming. To make
the Image-Stream more vivid and useful, note the following
suggestions:
a) Use the present tense. Even when the image is already vanished,
you should never say, “I saw....” Always phrase it as “I see...” or “I
am looking at...”
b) The Image-Stream is reinforcing. It is developed by a feedback
loop. Almost any stimulus will serve to trigger the stream of
images, but from that point on, your own flow of verbal
description is what keeps the Image-Stream going, what keeps
your images developing. In general, the more you describe, the
more of it you see.
c) Do not use any props to aid you in Image-Streaming. Ultimately,
you do not want to use the accompanying tape when you are
doing this exercise.
i) Start by doing a deep stretch.
ii) In the afterglow of that stretch, settle back into a deeply
relaxed, comfortable position.
iii) Using your Velvety Smooth Breathing exercise, put yourself in
a state of being deeply relaxed and very alert.
iv) Once you have reached this state, allow your mind to go into
Image-Streaming. As any image comes up, whether a taste,
smell, feeling, or something you hear or see, describe the image
in detail, using all your senses, into a tape recorder or to
someone listening. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not judge
yourself and give yourself permission to fudge some of the
sense experiences. Give yourself permission to freely describe
whatever may arise, suppressing nothing.
v) Debrief by writing down in the spaces provided below
everything that you can recall of what you experienced in the
Image-Stream. Do this before you play back the tape. You can
then re-play the tape to enrich these notes.
- 24 -
Do this at least once a day for the next 3 weeks and describe your
experiences in the space below.

24. There is a three-part principle of description in this exercise.
Take note of the effects that doing these descriptions more
effectively has on the exercise:
Principle 1: When you describe any object, real or imaginary, at the

same time you are observing it, the very act of description focuses
your attention in such a way that you perceive more and more detail
about the object being described.
Principle 2: Describing an object aloud to an external focus, such as
a live listener or to a blank tape and a cassette recorder, is the
strongest way we know of so far to build this additional discovery
effect. You discover more and more about what you’re observing
while describing it.
Principle 3: The more sensory your description is (the less abstract
and explanatory), then the more powerful the effects are, especially
when you are describing abstract or complex situations, as distinct
from concrete ones. If you stay sensory in your description, and stay
with the sensory details, explaining little or no part of it, just going
with the sensory describing, it is much more effective.
- 32 -
Session 5: More Techniques to Improve Your
Image Stream
In this session, Win gives further suggestions to make Image-
Streaming work more powerfully for you, as well as helping you to
teach this invaluable resource to others. Generally 70 percent of
people have no difficulty Image-Streaming, but 30 percent are
somewhat challenged with this technique. Only 3 out of 10,000
people that Win trained in Image-Streaming had extended difficulty.
Ultimately just about everyone is capable of visualization. Initially
you will be given exercise options to open your Image-Streaming
abilities, and then further developmental exercises and experiential
techniques to further explore your imaging faculties.
25. The following exercises are variations that will assist you in
learning to ImageStream if you are struggling at all with the original
technique. If you are comfortable with the technique, these
exercises will develop your Image-Streaming skills even further.
Take note of the following suggestions:
a) Use beauty. Because beauty is the native language of the right-

brain, nothing more than beauty will reinforce visual thinking
more directly or powerfully than experiencing or working with
beauty and wonder. So, begin your ImageStreaming session by
recalling the most beautiful natural landscape you have ever
seen. This might be a forest, a babbling brook, a garden, or a
sunset over the ocean. As you go deeper into the description,
you may find seemingly unrelated images coming through. Go
with the flow, pick up on these new images, and describe them.
Try this technique at least once in the next month. Write about your
experience with this exercise, in the space provided below.
- 33 -
b) Stare at a fairly strong light source, such as a 40- or 60-watt light
bulb (definitely not the sun) for about 30 seconds. Then close your
eyes and describe the afterimage of that light source. This after-
image will soon begin to change colours, shape, and position. New
images will appear. Keep describing whatever you see and you
will soon drift into a full-fledged Image-Stream. Strong visual
image patterns such as stripes, polka dots, and checkerboards will
also create afterimage effects if you stare at them long enough. At
the end of this process, gently rub your eyes like a sleepy child
and describe the lights and colours that result from that changing
pressure of your fingers.
b) Recall an old or very memorable dream. Go into that dream;

recall it as best you can. Describe it as vividly as possible in its
original narrative sequence. As with ordinary Image-Streaming,
do not worry if you have to fill in the gaps by fudging a little bit
and making things up. Remember to describe the details using
multiple senses and in the present tense. You may end up
discovering the original message of the dream that may have
been forgotten or repressed over the years.
- 34 -
d) You can also build an Image-Stream from any good, entertaining

story, novel, film, or television program. This technique is called
the Story Method. It should be a story that you have read or
encountered very recently, or one that has remained vivid in your
mind. Through your sensory descriptions, begin wordpainting
those scenes from that story that were not described by the
author. As your descriptions pick up speed and intensity, you will
start free-associating into a more genuine, independent Image-
Stream.
- 35 -
e) The Fantasia Method is a technique that stimulates the
synesthetic response more directly than any other technique.
Listen to some richly textures music with your eyes closed.
Experience has shown that French music, especially from 1750
to 1825, and progressive jazz are among the most effective for
this purpose. Density and complexity of the music are key
factors. You want to make sure there is enough music per unit
to activate your more sensitive faculties. Such music will likely
stimulate visual images as pleasing and fanciful as those that
appear in Disney’s Fantasia.
f) The Blindfolded Grope is a technique that is more touch-sense

oriented. One form of this technique is to blindfold yourself and
walk around the room feeling different objects. Describe at
length the appearance of each object that you feel. Another
variation of this technique is to have someone put together a
mystery grab bag of diverse objects for you. With your eyes
closed, remove and feel each object in turn, describing them as
you do so.
- 36 -
g) Eating or Smelling Blindfolded is another Image-Streaming
technique. This method helps involve the much-neglected
faculties of taste and smell. Blindfold yourself before eating,
describing in detail every sensation you experience while you
are eating, until an unrelated Image-Stream begins.
h) You can also do another variant of the above Eating or Smelling

Blindfolded technique. Select 4 or 5 spices from your kitchen
with a range of pleasing aromas. Set the spices in a row before
you. With your eyes closed, shuffle them around and then try
to identify each one by smell. You may be surprised at the
intensity and diversity of the Image-Streams that are conjured
up. Smells are particularly effective at evoking long forgotten
memories.
- 37 -
i) Closing your eyes, start sculpting with your hands some object
of art in the air. When it is finished, hold this imaginary
sculpture in your hands and describe it in detail to a tape
recorder or listener. Making a real sculpture out of clay would
also work in this exercise.
j) You can do the Commuter Special exercise while being a

passenger on a train, on a bus, or in a car. Do not do this
exercise if you are driving. Blindfold yourself and from your
imagination describe the landscapes and street scenes that
you think you are passing. Be sure to describe your images out
loud to a tape recorder or another individual.
- 38 -
k) Imagine that you are walking in a meadow, up a hill to the top
where there is a single, immense tree. Engage all your senses
here. Exalt in the warm breeze; the sunshine on your face,
neck, and shoulders; the smells of the meadow; the muscular
pull as you’re walking up the hill; the swishing grass; the
variety of wild flowers that surround you; the sound of your
own breathing. When you reach the top of the hill in your
imagination, lie down in the soft, cool moss at the base of the
tree. Look up the tree’s immense trunk. Look through the tree’s
branches at the sky, where clouds are scudding across as you
expand. Notice how the movement of the clouds creates an
illusion that the tree itself is moving along with you and the hill.
Now drift with that moment. Let it take you wherever it will.
1) In the Beneath the Boat technique, imagine that you are

riding on a boat on a gentle lake. Peer down into the
water, past the sparkle and the ripples. Try to discern
what is down below the surface. At first you see only the
play of refracted sunlight across the bottom, but as you
peer more intently, an entire underwater world takes
form. Your own imagination will determine whether you
- 39 -
see submerged Ionian civilizations or fabulous sea
creatures. Describe whatever you see in rich detail.
l)The Time Space Method is a version of the technique that led

Einstein to his theory of relativity. Image yourself to be some
sort of electrical magnet or gravitational phenomenon like a
radio wave, a laser beam, a quantum particle, or even a black
hole. Imagine yourself moving across space between stars,
between galaxies, and into the unknown. You do not have to be
a physicist to achieve profound insights through this technique;
although looking up a few popular science books may help you
fuel your imagination and enrich the experience. Move through
space until you come to something. What is it? Move through
until something emerges in your awareness and describe it.
- 40 -
n) The Live-Partner or Helper Technique requires the assistance of
another individual. This method is based on the assumption that
you really are Image-Streaming all the time but simply are not
consciously aware of it. Your partner’s job is to help you become
aware. Use the normal procedure to start Image-Streaming,
including the Velvety Smooth Breathing technique. Your partner
should:
i) Look for attention cues, which are those tiny indications that
something has caught the Image-Streamer’s attention. A
momentary pause in breathing is definitely an indicator. It
means that the Streamer have reacted to some inner stimulus,
such as a striking mental image. Another good cue is if there is
eye movement under the streamer’s lids.
ii) Once the partner sees such an attention cue, he or she needs to
alert the Streamer by asking “What was your awareness just
then?” If in doubt, the partner should ask the question anyway.
iii) The partner must be persistent in order to get the Image-

Streamer to realize that he or she is Image-Streaming. Be
patient and persist in the process until it is effective.
iv) Once the Image-Streamer begins the Streaming technique, the

partner then takes on the role of the listener or coach. He or she
should coach the Image-Streamer to continue describing each
image in present tense and in rich sensory detail. He or she
should encourage the Image-Streamer without interrupting the
flow, reminding the Streamer that it is okay to fudge a little or
make up details.
- 41 -
o)Co-tripping or Co-Image-Streaming with a Live Partner is a slightly
more advanced technique. Both partners sit down facing each other
with their eyes closed. Each partner should then start describing to
the other his or her respective images. Instead of waiting to take
formal turns, each individual wants to get as much describing into
the time available as possible, because the more describing that is
done, the more powerful the experience. So when one of the
partners pauses for a breath, the other rushes in with his or her
description. Don’t allow any empty airtime to lapse once you are
underway. The game-like quality of this exercise is an excellent
catalyst for Image-Streaming. It will rapidly sharpen your imagery
and your descriptive abilities, and the contents of both your sets of
imagery will be fascinating.
experience with exercise, in the space provided below.
Once you open contact with your Image-Stream by whatever means,

you may want to test and explore the limits. The further you push your
powers of perception, the stronger your imaging faculties will become.
The following are further-developing exercises and experiences. They
not only build up your imaging muscles, but also actually increase the
apparent size of the imaginary space in which Image-Streaming takes
place.
- 42 -
p) In the Panoramic Scan technique, as soon as you see a clear
scene come into view, begin panning your view slowly to the left,
like your head was a camera, and your verbal description the
videotape. As you turn your head, what new details of the scene
come into view? Slowly turn completely around. What do you see
behind you? When you have completed a 360 degree pan of the
entire scene, you will feel a much more realistic sense of standing
in the three-dimensional space in the scene.
q) The Expanding Senses technique allows you to practice

describing your ImageStream using your non visual senses
extensively. For example, touch is probably the most important
non visual sense. Explore the different surfaces in your imagined
scene. Feel the bark on the trunks of trees, the roughness of a
brick wall in the sun (which also has an unusual characteristic
smell), the dew on the fresh grass under foot, the grain and sheen
of fine wood furniture, and the texture of plush carpet. You can
change the spatial point of view by moving around in the
imagined scene, describing whatever appears as you move. You
can also go back and forth not only in space, but also in time. Try
changing the time of day, time of year, century, or millennium and
see what that brings into your experience. You can also change
- 43 -
your physical size in the scene you are examining, growing larger
or smaller in the scene.
26. There are two further principles in play when doing these
exercises. The first is the DaVinci Principle. Leonardo DaVinci, a
renowned artist, scientist, and inventor of the 15th and 16th centuries
free-associated his way to his unparalleled insights. This was the
basis for much of his genius. “It should not be hard for you to
stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire,
or clouds, or mud, or like places in which you may find really
marvelous ideas,” wrote DaVinci in his notebooks. DaVinci also
found inspiration in the sound of bells, in whose clanging you may
discover every name and word that you can imagine. Use these free-
association techniques at least once a day for the next week. Record
your findings in the spaces below.

27. The second principle is based on four lines that were penned by
the poet, William Blake and embody the essence of Image-
Streaming. “To see a world in a grain of sand/ And a heaven in a wild
flower, hole infinity in the palm of your hand/ And eternity in an
hour.” Walt Whitman echoed the same idea 100 years later when he
wrote that one might see the universe in a single blade of grass. The
tiniest stimulus will indeed provoke storms without limit through a
process that Win Wenger called the Whitman Blake effect. Pause
before making your next big decision. Look around and notice the
slight irregularities of the ceiling, the texture of brick under foot, the
feel of your knees bending and straightening, the slight shift of
sensation in your shoulders, stomach, neck, and face. You cannot
really explain why, but when you widen your neurological contact
with the world in this way, you feel stronger, wiser, more creative,
and you choose more wisely.
Try this exercise also at least once a day for the next week. Record
your findings in the spaces below.

Session 6: Feedback - Your Portable Memory
Bank
The issue of feedback is explored in this session. Feedback is one of
the keys to this whole matter of the Einstein Factor. Many great
geniuses in history constantly recorded thoughts and feeling in diaries,
poems, and letters to friends and family. Less than 1 percent of the
population habitually engages in writing out their thoughts,
experiences, and perceptions, but with startling consistency almost all
of the world’s top achievers fall within that 1 percent. Win gives
examples of many feedback loop models in this session, models
ranging from stimulating unborn children and infants to his acclaimed
Portable Memory Bank technique.
28.Win discusses the discipline of the Mankato nuns in Minnesota in
their commitment to constantly stimulate their brains through
playing quiz games, solving brain teasers, debating politics in weekly
seminars, and most significantly keeping daily spiritual journals. Do
you consciously work on keeping your brain from being mentally
idle? What do you do on a regular basis to challenge yourself? List
your routines below. If you do not actively pursue any such
activities, what can you start to do to keep your brain active?
29.It is hard to believe that over half of the brain cells that the child
develops in the 7th month of pregnancy in the womb will have died
by the time the child is born. This is due to lack of stimulus and,
more importantly, feedback. Win suggests a technique that
expectant mothers can use to stimulate the child in the womb and
prevent the death of the brain cells. This feedback loop model
involves giving the child feedback when it creates a movement in
the womb. For example, when the child taps on the left side of the
mother’s uterine wall twice, then the mother would tap back on their
left side twice in response. Consequently, when the baby taps on the
right side, the mother might tap back on the right side some
multiple, perhaps three times as many times on their right side. If
the child taps on the top of the uterus, the mother might put
headphones on her uterus and play music or talk to the child. It is
important that the mother respond consistently to the child in the
womb, and then that child will feel that his or her actions are having
some influence on his or her environment and that he or she is
effecting some control on her surroundings, and he or she will grow
brain circuitry accordingly. Win believes that this technique, more
than anything else, will keep a lot of the child’s brain cells alive and
engaged, letting the child be born whole and in greater reach of his
or her potential. If you plan on having a child, practice this technique
- 51 -
or if you know someone who is pregnant, perhaps suggest this
technique to her.
30.Win cites several studies that prove that encouraged creeping and
crawling by infants actually increases the child’s IQ and brain
capacity. A powerful way to increase a child’s brain capacity is to
create feedback toys such as an infant controlled pressure pad that
would turn on or off Christmas tree lights around the bedding of the
crib. The infant would thus gain instant visual feedback from his or
her own movements. Brightly coloured mobiles that move and
shimmer when the child swats them are also a good way to provide
feedback to infants.
Use your own imagination and create 3 such toys to stimulate

children, whether in their bed, playpen, car or highchair. Give
yourself permission to play and have fun with this exercise. Describe
these toys in the spaces below:
Toy 1:
Toy 2:
Toy 3:
31. It is with the story of English inventor Michael Faraday’s apparent

incomprehensible writing of stray thoughts in his notebook that Win
introduces the Portable Memory Bank. We have included a Portable
Memory Bank with this program to aid you in your further
exploration. This notebook should be taken with you wherever you
go. You should write down any stray thoughts that come into your
head (whether or not they seem worth recording at the time) into
your Portable Memory Bank. This tool is an extremely important
technique in exploring and developing the power of your genius.
Have you ever maintained a journal such as the Portable Memory

Bank? If so, what did you use it for? Did you discover that it enhanced
any aspect of your life? Describe below your experience with it.
- 52 -
32. One of the extraordinary benefits of the Portable Memory Bank is
as previously stated, the Law of Effect, being that you get more of
what you reinforce. By writing any thoughts into the Memory Bank,
you are focusing on, responding to your own subtle awareness, thus
drawing more of your conscious attention to it. Win reminds you
that every time you have an idea and do not take any action on it,
whether by writing about it, sharing it with someone, or actively
pursuing it, you are reinforcing the behaviour of being uncreative. By
writing it down in your Portable Memory Bank, you are reinforcing
creativity. The same rule holds true for your subtle awareness, so be
sure to write down anything that you experience.
For 3 weeks make a firm commitment to recording your observations

and perceptions on a regular basis. At first this may be an effort, but if
you stick to it, it will quickly become an enjoyable and freeing habit.
Ideally you would like to record a minimum of 30 to 50 observations
per day.
33. In the spaces provided below, record a summary of your
experiences after using your Portable Memory Bank after:
1 Week:

34.Win notes that with any kind of feed-the-loop model, it is important
that you are supported in your innovative thinking, not discouraged.
Is there anyone in your life who you feel would not support your
intelligence-accelerating endeavours? If so, list them below and
perhaps make a concerted effort not to include them in on your
plans.
35.Likewise, are there any individuals in your life who would actively
support these endeavours? If so, list them below and make a point to
share your discoveries with them, perhaps even involve them in the
sharing process of Image-Streaming and your Portable Memory Bank
discoveries.
- 55 -
Session 7: Feedback - Looking at Things
Differently
In this session Win reminds you that current society teaches you to
distrust your own opinions and lean on the opinions of experts. He
asserts that the courage to be different is a cornerstone of high
intellect. It can be tricky to separate yourself from what you already
know about something to discover new, raw perceptions. The tendency
is to gloss over the raw perceptions and talk abstractly about the
images you see. You describe what you know about the images, not
what you are actually perceiving. An exciting discovery that Win
instructs in this session is the use of Image-Streaming to repair past
emotional damage. He also reveals the Instant Replay Technique as
another developmental tool that enables you to look at past
experiences differently and with new perceptions.
36.Set thinking is a term that defines a situation in which people see
and hear exactly what they expect to see and hear, even if it differs
from their actual perception (for example, Win’s “strangled eggs”
story). This kind of thinking can give rise to prejudice and bigotry.
Image-Streaming seeks to wean the mind from its dependency on
set thinking by reinforcing behavior that relies upon our actual
perceptions rather than on our prejudice. Is there any area in your
life in which you find yourself making quick assumptions as you get
caught in “set thinking”? List below some of the situations in which
you do this. After practicing the exercises in this series for a time,
note any changes that might occur in your set thinking.
37.Win introduces us to the concept of the original observer. He points
out that all children start out as original observers, asking questions
and seeking answers freely, but by age four they start learning to
use their minds and set their minds at a lower level of curiosity.
Often you are discouraged from being an original observer in your
youth. Do you remember when you were most discouraged and who
had discouraged you most profoundly?
Write about your memories of the experience below.

38.Win reminds you that you can turn lemons into lemonade when
given such discouraging situations. Is there a way that you used the
discouraging messages to your advantage? Discuss how below. If
you were unable to do so, what advice might you give a child who
may face the same predicament in his or her life?
39.At this point in the series you are introduced to Jean Piaget’s
schema of mental development. This model provides a roadmap of
the natural mental development of a child from which Image-
Streaming can be applied to repair past damage with almost surgical
- 56 -
accuracy. Through the study of his own children, he noted that the
children’s thought process and perceptions advanced through 4
distinct stages:
i) The Sensorimotor Stage (from birth to 18 months)
ii) The Pre-operational Stage (from 18 months to up to 7 years old)
iii) The Concrete Operational Stage (from age 7 to 11)
iv) The Formal Operational Stage (from age 11 to 15)
Through his research Win discovered that you could go back to a stage
in your life when your natural learning was impeded, Image-Stream
through it, then relax and let that experience move forward into a free
flowing fantasy in which you are to imagine being enriched by
whatever experience or reinforcement is needed. You could then
subsequently move to other episodes in your life and repeat the same
process until finally arriving at the present. As a word of caution here,
it should be noted that memory remains the most elusive of all mental
phenomena and that at least 25 percent of the population can easily
be made to remember experiences that never occurred.
40. Win takes you though a Cognitive Structural Enhancement (CSE)
technique as a means to retrieve and enrich your memories of what
Abraham Maslow called “peak learning experiences.” The format of
this technique is as follows:
i) Let your Image-Streaming faculties take you back to some key
point early in your intellectual development.
ii) Describe to your partner or to a tape recorder whatever comes up
in your visions; whether it fits with any expectation or not, just let
the image unfold freely.
iii) Let your Image-Streaming faculties imagine for you the most
effective and appropriate experience that would have enriched
your understanding at that key point. Describe your way through
that experience out loud to your tape recorder or to the listener.
iv) Let your Image-Streaming faculties move you forward in time
from that early childhood experience to other key points of
development that follow directly from it.
v) Enrich each of these memories in turn by describing them at
length in concrete sensory detail.
vi) Continue the procedure until you have worked your way up to
the present time.
vii) Invest at least a few minutes in detailing to a partner or to a tape
recorder the specific improvements that you feel this series of
enrichment experiences has made in your present-day
understanding and perception.
- 57 -
If you feel emotionally stable enough, do this exercise and write about
what you experienced while doing it and afterward, in the space
provided below.
41. Win likens the Instant Replay method of Image-Streaming to the

practice of sport casters in reviewing TV footage of athletic feats.
The late Raymond H. Cameron, Ph.D, first introduced this technique.
It is used in situations where you would like to gain insight into a
past experience in greater detail. When you are first trying this
technique, it is easiest to select peak learning experiences with
obvious, special meaning to you. The procedure is as follows:
Think of yourself as an astronaut who has just returned from some
exotic mission. You must now engage in a thorough debriefing of
your journey to scientists for study back in mission control.
i) Close your eyes and practice Velvety Smooth Breathing.
ii) Bring forth a concrete memory of the event you have selected
(with sensory detail).
iii) Describe the event sequentially to your partner or tape recorder,
as it really happened in accordance with the normal rules of
Image-Streaming (describe it in the present tense and in rich
detail) and with as little coaching interference from your partner
as possible.
iv) For the first 4 - S minutes confine your description to sensory
impressions of the setting, the teacher or other key participants,
- 58 -
the actions, your feelings, or body awareness. Focus only on
sensory detail. Do not hesitate to make things up.
v) hen you have established the sensory setting very clearly, begin
to open yourself to more abstract insights. Feel free to make
comments or judgments about the action before you. Express
your judgments freely and without concern. They are important.
vi) The images may change or twist in an unexpected or bizarre way.
They may seem unrelated but are most likely a symbolic
representation of some vital insight about the replayed scene, a
message about your selected experience. It may appear as an all-
encompassing insight, what Maslow deemed an “ah-ha moment. “
vii) Continue describing the new image for about 10 minutes or until
you have achieved a clear ah-ha experience. Note that often the
most valuable ideas you discover tend to come last.
Practice this Instant Replay Technique for 15 to 30 minutes each day

for the next 3 weeks. It should have a profound impact on your life and
your powers of perception. Record your daily experiences, in the

Session 8: Techniques to Build Your Powers of
Understanding
You are taken through another technique to build your powers of
understanding in this session. This process gives you insights that
allow you to repair some of the gaps in your early learning that most
likely affect the way you see current situations in your life. For
example, if you did not have an experiential learning from your own
sensory experience that a volume of water stays the same regardless
of the shape of the container that it is in, and that the water can be
poured from one shape container to another (and reversed), then you
may never fully integrate that some of what happens around you is
also reversible, that it can go back and forth and be adjusted to suit.
This technique should be done as follows:
i) Drift back toward some early point in your life, without trying to
recall events or remember early memories. Just let your Image-
Streaming faculties open to some key point of your early
development. Whether they seem fit or not, begin describing them
to a tape recorder or a partner in rich detail for about 2 minutes.
ii) Moving deeper into this experience, let your Image-Streaming
faculties now imagine for you the most effective and appropriate
experience that would have enriched your understanding at this
key point. Describe your way through this experience out loud and
paint as much of a word picture as you can as the events unfold.
iii) Moving even deeper into the experience, go forward a little in
time to some other point in your life during which this new
understanding you have just been exploring would have made a
difference. Explore the difference, describing it in rich detail.
iv) Let your Image-Stream show you some other key points of
experience that occurred after the point of your new
understanding that would also have made a great difference for
you. Let events unfold for you and describe them in detail.
v) Touch upon 2 to 3 other key points of your life forward of this
point as you approach the present. Note how this new insight
would have made a difference in the key points and, again,
describe the events as they unfold in detail.
vi) Come now to present moment in time and space with your old
and all your new powers of understanding and appreciation. Let
some of the new insights occur to you now. Describe them to the
tape recorder or live partner, noting and describing some of the
differences this experience makes in various current issues,
matter, and situations as you notice them. To conclude, you may
want to make notes of your observations, in the space provided
below.
- 67 -
43.Now that you have a wonderful tool to uncover gaps in your
learning development, you have the potential to gain a greater
appreciation and understanding of challenges you may have had in
your life. Write below a list of at least 10 areas of challenge that you
would like to investigate using this technique.
Area 1:

Session 9: Image Streaming to Overcome
Creative Blocks
Through his research Win has discovered that an areas in which you
may have a block may be the area in which you have a very special
gift; the very practice that you felt was your failure is most likely
your greatest strength. Giving you a powerful breathing technique,
Win takes you on an exciting journey to uncover your blocks and
transform them into pleasurable experiences.
45. Can you recall a particular area, skill, or topic in which you feel
that you have a block? Perhaps you struggle with learning a certain
skill like math, cooking, or a sport, or in dealing with people in the
office. List at least 3 such areas, in the space provided below. If you
cannot recall an area that seems to block you, then list that as a
subject of this experience.
Block 1:
Block 2:
- 72 -
Block 3:
46. After discovering any of your blocks, choose one and follow
this technique that Win outlines in this session.
1. Image some symbolic image that you can use to represent

the blocked activity, for example a closed math book for a
block in math, an oven for a block in cooking, or a classroom
door for a block in learning. It should be something that can
open and close. Imagine it closed as your start this exercise.
2. Now begin the Velvety Smooth Breathing technique,
remembering to make each incoming breath more
rewarding than the previous, letting go of stuff deeper and
deeper on each exhalation.
3. See your entire body as being involved in your breathing. With each
incoming breath, see if you can breathe more completely with all of your
body becoming involved to create an even more rewarding experience.
4. Each breath is an opportunity to take the effects further. Anything that did
not belong in your body, anything that did not belong in your system, any
noise, stress, let it come out as you exhale. Imagine what is being swept up
by your breath, and swept out of your body, like so many leaves being
swept up by a breeze, swirled around and then released, but as they hit the
open air, let them fly into being bright sparks of fresh life energy as they
leave you.
- 73 -
5. As you deepen this experience, you can actually feel things
being released out of your body, because there is extra
warmth and richness in your outgoing breath. You may want
to reach towards the end of each exhalation for this effect.
6. Once you are sure you are getting that warmth and richness
as you exhale, allow yourself to remember the feelings that
you had in connection with that subject or field that you feel
blocked in. Imagine that subject or field as being in some
sort of image that opens and closes. For Win the math was
in a math book that was closed as long as he felt bad about
math.
7. Now allow your bad feelings around this image to come out
with your exhaled breath, turning into free, new, sparking
life energy. Allow yourself to feel some of what you felt
toward that subject, whether frustration, sadness, or anger,
and expose it to your breath as you do the rich, warm
breathing. Continue to expose a little more of that feeling,
letting your exhaling breath sweep it away as it transforms
into free, new, life energy.
8. After doing this releasing for a time, you will note that it is
getting harder to find any more of negative feelings about
the subject. At some point here in the process, the subject
your image opens for you of its own accord. Once you reach
that point, you can go in and play. As you do so, focus with
your breathing more on the delicious reward side (the
incoming breath). Experience what cinnamon, vanilla,
freshly brewed coffee, or a fresh scented pine mountain
breeze feel like to breath.
9. As quickly as possible after doing this exercise, go into real
time and do the same activity in some form. If it was math,
do a little bit of math work. If it was dealing with people,
pick up the phone and make an appointment. As you do so,
continue to breathe deliciously, which will help to sustain
the enjoyment in the field that you have opened up for
yourself.
Take a few minutes and write about your experience, in the space
provided below. How did you feel before, during, and after the
exercise? How do you feel about your previous block after doing this
exercise?

blocked and practicing this technique with each area. Write about

Memory Bank.

Session 10: An Exercise to Ingeniously Solve
Problems
In this session Win uncovers a way in which you can use Image-
Streaming to find solutions to problems that cannot be found in what
we already consciously know about the situation. This technique
involves imagery more directly than you have experienced in past
exercises.
48. Pick 3 problems that you would like solved in your life and list
them below. Once you have done that, choose one that you would
like to work on now during this technique.
Problem 1:
Problem 2:
- 78 -
Problem 3:
49. Follow these steps to solving your problem:

i) For about 1 minute, describe the problem you want to solve and
why you want to solve it, staying with sensory detail and
describing your perceptions with as little explaining as possible.
Then set it aside to allow the further reaches of your mind to take
care of it for you.
ii) Now having let go of the problem, imagine and describe a
beautiful garden, bounded on one side by a high wall. As you
describe the garden in detail, the further reaches of your mind are
meanwhile free to lay out the answer to your problem beyond that
high wall. It should be safely screened from sight so that your left-
brain will not attempt to second-guess or edit your further
resources behind that wall. Describe the garden, painting a word
picture of what you described in such rich textures of detail that
you literally force the listener to see, hear, and experience that
which you are describing.
iii) Now move across the garden to the wall. Move up beside the
wall on the garden side. Do not look over the wall, but lay your
hands onto it and study the feel of the wall. Bring your face up
close to the wall and study the smell of the stone, adobe, or brick.
Gently lay your forehead against the wall, gathering impressions,
making the wall utterly real to the listener while doing so by
- 79 -
painting word pictures, describing it in full detail, using all of your
senses. This should be done for about 3 to 4 minutes.
iv) Now jump over the wall. Land on your feet. What are you
wearing on your feet? What surface are you standing on? What
was your first impression and what is your impression now of the
rest of the scene spread out around you? Describe that now in rich
detail.
v) Now let a particular feature or object in the landscape capture
your main attention. Centre your attention on it. Go over to that
object and put your hand on it. Silently ask the object this
question, “Why are you here as part of this answer for me?”
Something in the scene or the scene itself may now change as a
result of your question. Describe in detail whatever is now
happening in that scene.
vi) Now come back over the wall, rested and refreshed, through the
garden, and back into this physical present space here, becoming
fully alert and feeling good.
vii) Now you will try to make sense of your discovery over the wall.
You can make notes in the space provided below to examine that
experience in detail at different levels of awareness.
viii)To aid in making sense of the scene, go back to the garden and
find something in the scene that can act like the wall for you - a
bush, a tall rock, a doorway, or a window, anything that screens
you from viewing the scene beyond it. Describe the object that is
acting like a screen in great detail for about 90 seconds.
ix) While looking at the object, perhaps resting your hand upon it,
thank your higher mental faculties for giving you the answer to
your question, but ask their help in understanding what the
imagery in your answer means.
x) With your hand on the screen ask your mental faculties to show
you another very different scene or set of images beyond the
screen. There will be the same answers to the same question, only
they will take different form.
xi) Now suddenly go beyond the object into the new scene and tell
the listener everything that you find in this new scene for about 2
to 3 minutes.
xii) Go through steps x and xi again to gain a third perspective.
xiii)Now return to the here and now, stretching and feeling good. Try
now to
find all of the things that are the same in these three very
different experiences, while everything else in the scenes is
different. This can be a colour, a recurring shape, a cartoon, a toy,
a period piece coming from a different era, a feeling, water, or
lack of movement. Is there a common theme or element among
the three scenes? Tell the listener or write in the space below as
you come to this observation.
- 80 -
xiv) Now looking at that common element or set of elements,
put it alongside the original question that you had written out.
How does this element answer your question or problem?
Describe it, in the space provided below.
xv) After doing this exercise you may want to verify that the answer
to your question is on track. You may then ask yourself, “How do I
implement this understanding? What is a specific thing that I can
do to start the act of solving the problem by actually
implementing this answer?” Record later any insights you get
about steps you can take.
You should not let this question and answer simmer for any longer
than a day.
Below make a record of your experience with this exercise. Be
sure to try it again on the other 2 problems that you would like
solved and record your findings accordingly.

Session 11: The Borrowed Genius Exercise
The Borrowed Genius Exercise is unveiled in this session. It is an
explanatory adventure that allows you to easily contact and engage
your own very real genius - in some art, sport, skill, subject, study,
professional field, or practice. This exercise can be a great deal of fun
as you use your imagination to take yourself to the level that you
would like to be at in any given area of expertise.
Whether in sensory mode or in understanding such as in sports, in
artistic performance, or in intellectual and scientific understanding, in
just a day or two (sometimes only an hour), Borrowed Genius enables
you to gain levels of proficiency in some skill or field that normally
would take years to build by conventional methods. It is a way to
connect with your own very real inner genius to acquire such
understanding.
50. There are two key exercises that Win takes you through in this
session. The first exercise involves learning in context. All human
learning is in relation to other things, some sort of context in which
to define and experience whatever it is you are trying to learn.
Examples of this that Win gives is defining the room that you are in
through the eyes of an artist as compared with the eyes of a tax
assessor or a Bushman from the Kalahari Desert who has never been
inside a building before. With each different head you wear, you
have a different experience of the room, one finite place. It is clear
at this point the high leverage that you can get on any active
learning and on any level of functioning that you are trying to
achieve by changing the context to one that better supports that
which you are attempting to do.
Based on the above example, describe your computer from the

perspective of a graduate of a university course in computer science, a
5-year-old child, and an Eskimo who lives up in the far north and has
never seen a computer before. Write about your experience through
the eyes of each individual below. Then give an overview of the
exercise in its entirety.

51. The second exercise that Win takes you through involves putting
yourself into the shell of an individual whose skills or expertise you
are trying to emulate. In this exercise you begin by seeing the
genius, whether the world’s greatest mathematician, most sensitive
- 83 -
artist, or most powerful runner. You then get into that individual, for
example the artist. Lift their head and slip it over your own head,
bringing your eyes to where the eyes of the artist are so that you
can see through and with the eyes of the artist. Bring your ears to
where the artist’s ears are, so that you can listen through and with
the ears of the artist. You then put on the artist’s whole body as you
would put on a rubber suit, and examine yourself. Explore the
different feelings in your face, around your eyes, cheekbones and
mouth, shoulders, and other parts of your body. How do you walk?
How do you hold yourself? What is your posture? What are the
differences in the way you sit? Your expressions? How does it feel to
physically be this famous artist? To the extent that you can copy off
that artist’s pattern of body feel and wear those patterns of feeling
in your own body, then you will most likely be more successful when
you do your art.
Based on the above example, choose three individuals who are

famous for certain skills or genius that you would like to further
develop in yourself. List these three people below.
Individual 1:
Individual 2:
- 84 -
Individual 3:
52. Now do the above exercise with each individual, allowing

yourself time to really get into each of their bodies, experience how
they feel, how they see things and react to things. Have fun with this
exercise, and then write about your experiences with each, in the
spaces provided below.

Session 12: Beyond the Borrowed Genius
Win takes you through an exercise in which you actually meet a genius
whom your subconscious mind selects to aid you in the development of
a particular skill in this session. Committed, repeated practice to this
delightful exercise can propel you into tapping into genius that may be
beyond your wildest dreams. This process will undoubtedly greatly
accelerate any area of skill that you would like to further develop.
Something that may take years to achieve may only take weeks with
focused and committed use of this technique.
You are encouraged to have fun with this exercise and give yourself
permission to be open to whatever insights and gifts that your higher
intelligence faculties introduce to you.
i) Begin this exercise by focusing on the particular skill that you
would like to develop, a subject or activity that you would very
much like to perform much better in, or to understand far better,
and be more effective in.
ii) Begin by describing a beautiful garden, even more beautiful than
the garden you described in your Problem Solving exercise. As in
the previous exercises, it is imperative that you make your
descriptions in great, rich detail, using all of your senses. The
more detail you have, the more intense and powerful your
experience will be.
iii) You may start to get pictures other than the garden. When this
happens, describe in detail the pictures that you see. Expand your
perception of the garden or picture by slowly turning to the left,
right, behind you, and around you. You can start moving in the
garden and feel things as they come into view. Do this for about 2
to 4 minutes.
iv) Now imagine a genius joining you in this garden, a genius in the
skill, subject, field, or activity that you picked at the start of this
exercise. Perhaps this genius is someone whom you know, or
someone you do not know. He or she can be someone from the
past, present, or future, real or imaginary. It is best if you let
yourself be surprised by who or what your larger mind puts in this
space to play the role of genius.
v) In rich detail, begin describing the genius to your listener, making
him or her utterly real. Describe the feel of the warm, welcoming
presence of this genius. Take about 2 to 4 minutes.
vi) Now stand at arm’s length, behind the genius (his or her back is
to you). Now waft yourself forward into this genius, bringing your
eyes to where the genius’s is, etc., until you feel that you are
totally inhabiting his or her body. Now bring your senses, your
- 87 -
mind, your body, your memories, your perceptions to where those
of the genius are so that now you become this genius.
vii) Now perceive your surroundings as the genius, noting the
difference between how you perceive the space as the genius and
what you experienced there prior. As the genius, describe these
differences aloud richly and in great detail. Stay as immediately
sensory as you can. The understanding, abstraction, and ah-ha’s
will almost take care of themselves if you continue to stay firmly
with the rich sensory detail of what it is like being the genius.
viii)Continue to be this genius, engaging in some of what it is that
the genius is genius at. As you do so, study the feelings in your
body as the genius, especially your posture. Describe in great
detail your perceptions as the genius.
ix) Once you are in the flow of a full ah-ha, describe the feelings in
the face, the neck, the shoulders, and every other part of the
genius’s body while being especially effective at the skills that
your genius is genius at. Make those body-related feelings utterly
real to the listener as you describe them.
x) Now go into your genius memory and go to the movement of
greatest understanding, or illumination, in the lifetime memory of
this genius, a time when everything came together and suddenly
made wonderful sense. Describe as much as you can about this
experience, the perceptions and understandings that were part of
that experience, for at least 2 minutes.
xi) Now walk in front of a big full-length mirror. See the genius
facing you in the mirror. Now abolish the mirror and have the
genius standing there and yourself back and facing the genius.
Project a warm feeling of thanks to your genius; perhaps the
gratitude is mutual.
xii) Your genius now hands you a tiny cellular phone. There is a
mutual feeling of understanding between you that you can tap this
genius at anytime and that this genius can also tap you for your
gifts of genius.
xiii)At this point in time listen closely while the genius points out
something especially important in this experience or tells you
something you especially need to know in this context. Now report
this special insight to your listener, and then return your full
awareness to the here and now, fully refreshed and feeling good.
xiv) Now identify in 1 to 5 words the patterns of feeling in the
body of the genius as you can recall. Write these words down in
the space provided below, because they can remind you of this
total context of the genius and trigger you back into a
reminiscence of the experience.
xv) Within at least the next 12 hours it is important that you give
some real-time conventional learning to the area of expertise in
- 88 -
which you met your genius. This exercise is most effective when
you go back and forth from real-time learning and practice to this
Borrowed Genius exercise several times throughout the day. The
combination of the inner and outer experience will create powerful
results in record time.
53. Write about your experience in doing this exercise, in the space
below. Try to do this exercise along with some conventional learning
at least 2 to 3 times a day for at least 1 week. Chart your progress
and experience, in the space provided below.
54. List at least 2 other skills that you would like to develop your
genius in. At some point in time during the next couple of months,
make a concerted effort to develop these areas of genius, making
use of this technique. Record your experiences and the outcome in a
notebook or your Portable Memory Bank.

Session 13: The Beachhead Process for
Creativity and Inventions
In this session you will delve into the future to explore your great
inventive genius. The purpose of this exercise is to find new products,
services, or discoveries that would be of possible value. In this exercise
known as the Beachhead Process, you want to reach beyond the limits
of your conscious mind. So allow yourself to be surprised at the
revelations as they appear, and be sure to describe them in very great,
rich detail. This is especially important, for the more information that
you carry forward from this experience, then the more you will have
the capacity to bring the invention into successful production in
present-day reality.
i) Start by taking a deep stretch; then settle into a deeply relaxing,
comfortable position and let go a good sigh or two. Make each
breath you take better than the one before as you do this
exercise. Close your eyes so that you can see more freely.
ii) Do not attempt to create anything in your conscious mind. Sit
back and allow the subtler portions of your mind to show you. Let
them surprise you as you sit back and observe; then begin
describing what comes up for you.
iii) Imagine visiting a civilization where you find devices that would
be new inventions back here on present-day. Do this by seeing
yourself at an elevator door. See and experience yourself pressing
the call-button for the elevator. Feel the button under your finger;
see your hand in front of you as you press the button. Experience
the color and texture of the elevator door, making it utterly real as
you describe it to your listener.
iv) When you enter the elevator, completely experience the inside of
the elevator, describing it in detail as you do. You note and
describe a window that is on the elevator door. You pick up a
portable “disengage” device that can fit into your pocket. It has a
“return” button on it. When you press that button, you will return
to the elevator immediately from wherever you are.
v) You look at the wall of the elevator and there are call-buttons. The
“Up” button takes you to a civilization in the future, the “Down”
button takes you into the past, the “Side” button takes you to
parallel tracks of time to where our own civilization took some
different turning, and the “Space” button is for moving across our
galaxy. Each button on the wall takes you to a different era or
civilization. You decide which button you would like to push and
once you do, say loudly in your mind, “Take me to a highly
advance civilization where I will observe a useful and beneficial
device which I can copy, understand, bring back, and use back
here on present-day earth.” The elevator begins to vibrate and
- 90 -
move. A color will flash by in the window of the elevator door. Be
sure to describe the experience as you continue your journey.
vi) When you arrive at your destination, the door of the elevator
opens. You see an entirely unique world before you. You exit the
elevator and experience this world through all of your senses,
describing it in rich detail, making it utterly
real to the listener. Explore this advanced world.
vii) Suddenly a device catches your attention. Approach that device
and experience it in all its detail. Discover the principles of how it
works in enough detail to be able to return to the now and build a
working copy of it. Change your shape
or size to get a complete sense of the device. Take your time as
you experience and describe it, noting that all of what you
observe is key, as you will return to present day with all that you
have observed and use the observations to create this device in
present day.
viii)After taking extensive note of the device, experiencing it, and
describing it using all of your senses, approach an inhabitant of
this place who understands this device, perhaps the genius who
created it. As in the Borrowed Genius exercise, stand the
inhabitant arms length in front of you and waft yourself forward
into his or her body and experience the device from this new
perception. Perceive through this being’s memories, senses, and
abilities. Once you have completed this experience, return the
being’s head to his or her own shoulders so you can ask them
some additional questions. Ask the questions softly out loud, but
in your head, ask them very loudly.
ix) Remember that you can always return to this place if you require
more details. Go back to the elevator; press the “Return” button,
returning to full recall of all that has transpired thus far, coming
full and present in the here and now.
x) Now record your notes, make sketches, and do whatever you need
to do to show the listener what you have invented here. As you do
the notes and sketches, describe them to the listener in rich
detail. As time progresses, you may remember more about the
invention, so continue writing any notes.
55. Give a detailed description of your experience in the space
provided below or in your Portable Memory Bank if you require more
space.
56. Now that you have a new, creative invention, what are the next
steps you can take to act on your new discovery? Map out an action
plan, in the space provided below.

Session 14: Your Breath is Your Brain’s
Pacemaker
Win gives details in this session of the power that breathing has on
your brain capacity. It is no accident that breath is deemed as life
force, chi, or prana in various cultures and is considered the most
important factor in having a healthy and balanced life spiritually,
mentally, emotionally, and physically. Several suggestions for how to
improve your breathing techniques and the effects that such
improvement has on your brain capacity are outlined in this session.
57. Win informs you that research has shown that students who are
involved in sports or other activities that build their lung capacity,
especially underwater swimming, yoga, playing a wind instrument or
singing in the choir, are better readers, have improved intelligence,
and will have wider spans of awareness and attention. Were you
involved in any of these events as a child or adolescent? If so, how
were your reading and attention span skills? Discuss your
experience with this phenomenon, in the space provided below.
58. Win suggest that there are 3 major reasons why one would
greatly benefit to practice held-breath underwater swimming:
i) To improve awareness and attention span by improving your
respiratory capacity, your breathing span.
ii) To improve intelligence by improving the physical condition of the
physical brain, expanding circulation of the brain through using
the carbon dioxide to expand the corroded arteries.
iii) To likewise improve the physical basis of intelligence in the brain
through greater circulation by using the diving response.
Win strongly recommends a concentrated 2- or 3-week period in

which each day you spend an hour of total time at the bottom of
the pool. Come up every time that you need to, but accumulate
30 minutes to 1 hour of total time at the bottom of the pool,
stretching a little bit each time the amount of time that you can
remain under water in one breath. This can have a lasting effect
on your health, especially forcing your corroded arteries into
permanent accommodation for a larger flow of circulation. Could
you make a commitment to do this exercise at some point in the
next year? When? Write down your commitment below and record
the outcome of your experience.
59. Deep-belly breathing also greatly affects your brain capacity,

energy level, attention span, and overall health. When you breathe,
does your chest rise and fall? If so, try to breathe deeper so that
your belly is rising and falling. This will have a profound effect on
- 92 -
many aspects of your life, including your intelligence capacity. For at
least 15 minutes each day for the next week, sit and focus on doing
deep-belly breathing. Record your experiences, in the spaces
provided below.

Additional Material
Win Wenger is a great advocate of the interactive learning model of
education in the school systems. He makes a clear distinction between
“educating” and “teaching.” He defines educating as the concept of
“drawing forth” (“educate”) from the learner as opposed to didactic
imparting of information from the teacher for the purpose of
memorization by the student. This latter model does not support the
students as thinkers.
The whole point of interactive learning, as Socrates discovered 2,400
years ago, is that most of the understandings we’re struggling to learn
or teach are there already, buried in prior exposures, experiences, and
the unconscious. It is so much easier and more meaningful if, by one
means or another, we force ourselves and/or one another to look
within our own awareness and to respond or seek to respond from
those awarenesses. The response reinforces both those awarenesses
and the trait of BEING aware. Whatever externally sourced information
still needing to be added integrates quickly, easily, and meaningfully
around that already-known core once that is activated. With properly
focused techniques, interactive learning is a remarkably effective way
to educate.
Beyond this, though, Win realized that a teacher who does not listen
short-circuits part of the effectiveness. By not hearing the actual
response of the student, a teacher cuts off and even reverses some of
that reinforcement. This applies to both teachers and non teachers, for
it is clear that one of the very best things we can do for one another is
to listen to one another with full attention, respect, and regard. Really
listen.
60. What was your educational experience? Did you feel that you
were encouraged to find solutions in your classroom or did you feel
that the experience was more the “teaching” model described
above? Did you feel that you were listened to in the classroom?
Describe your schooling experience below.
A large part of the interactive learning model is posing questions to the

students, but as opposed to the teacher then didactically imparting the
information in response to the question, he or she asks the students to
form “buzz” groups (everyone in the class is talking at the same time,
but only to their immediate partner or partners. If the student huddles
close together with his or her immediate partner(s), the effect is that of
a buzzmurmur rather than the roar that typifies some interactive
classes). In these buzz groups they would discuss responses to the
question among themselves. This gets them actively involved with
their own learning. With their own input as a basis for further
- 94 -
discovery, the classroom opens up to a world of exchange in which a
great deal of wisdom is initiated by the responses of the students
themselves.
61. Have you ever had an educational experience like the one
described above where you were placed in “buzz” groups or
“partnerships” and the exchange was an interactive one? If so,
describe your experience below. If not, how might such an
educational model have affected your self-esteem and learning
capacity? Discuss your experiences and your views, in the space
provided below.
First and foremost Win asserts that teachers have to be good listeners
before they can successfully implement the interactive model of
educating. He created the following successful procedure that instilled
this lesson in graduate teaching students at the National Institute for
Teaching Excellence, Cambridge College, Massachusetts.
i) To start, Win said some opening remarks to set the context of the
procedure. He then suggested that the teaching students arrange
themselves in partnering and buzz groups. He then posed the
question, “What was the main reason(s) why you went into teaching
in the first place?”
ii) After the initial answers had been generated in written form,
each partnership was divided into partner “A” and partner “B”. He
assembled the “B” group in a huddle and instructed, “To every
answer of your partner, no matter what your partner’s response,
say, ‘Why is that important to you?!?”’ He then sent them back to
join their respective partners and begin the buzz for ‘A’ to answer,
“What were your main reason(s) for becoming a teacher?” (The
question “Why is that important to you?” stimulates deeper though
and reasoning over short-term, shallow-memory responses).
iii) After 4 to 5 minutes of the above discourse, he instructed the
“B” group to open the process up now, using every way they could
to draw out their partner “A” further on their answers without
getting in their way or interrupting his or her flow. This procedure
was then reversed as “B” group discussed their responses to the
question.
The outcome of this exercise was a heightened awareness on the part
of the teachers as to how effective this technique was and how it could
be used as a prescriptive technique and successfully be used as a
teaching model. They discussed how this technique made them feel
heard, as if they were actually being listened to, and how powerful that
experience was for them.
62. Sometime in the next week, try this exercise with someone in
your life. Ask that person a question similar to the one above, such
as, “What was the main reason(s) why you went into your chosen
- 95 -
profession in the first place?” Then continue the exercise as it was
laid out above. What was your experience as the listener? Ask the
other person what his or her experience was in the conversation.
Write your findings, in the space provided below.
63. How can you take this technique into your everyday life? What
benefits do you feel it would have on you and on those you interact
with? Discuss your theories and track your findings, in the space
provided below.
64. It has been said that high levels of creativity and high levels of
ability at problem solving are intrinsically part of the natural or
inherent condition of humankind. People’s widespread inability to be
creative, and their ineffectiveness in solving problems, is not a part
of their nature. Instead, it is an artifact imposed by conditions in our
culture, including conditions imposed in our schools and workforce.
What are the current conditions of your school or work environment?
Do they support and nurture your creativity? If not, what
adjustments can you make so that your environment is a much more
creatively nurturing one?
In this program Win creates many experiential exercises that induce

visual thinking with Einsteinian, receptive, or discover visual mental
imagery. Researchers agree that:
i) The right half of your brain cortex works 10,000 times
more rapidly than does your conscious left, which has been taught
by the language you speak to think to word speed. The deeper,
limbic part of your brain works 10,000 times faster than does your
right cortex, and directs the whole process. Most mental activity
therefore is far faster than is conscious thought or experience.
ii) For every conscious thought, perception or impression you are
experiencing, you are also experiencing more than 100 marginally
conscious or unconscious such impressions.
iii) Every experience you’ve ever had is still with you in memory.
Conscious recall of it might be a problem, but the memory itself is
there with you for a lifetime. That means that everything you’ve
ever learned or tried to learn, and even information simply
incidentally happened past, is also yours, throughout a lifetime.
iv) Visual response involves 80 percent of the area of your brain,
according to EEG studies.
v) Conscious response involves only 5 percent of the area and only 1
percent of the cells in your brain according to electro prove
studies performed during neurosurgery. Therefore,
vi) Nearly all of your visual response arises in regions of your brain
which, normally, are part of your unconscious - wherein is also to
- 96 -
be found that prodigious databased and reflexive instant
understanding. (Hence the value of a Rorschach
inkblot test, among other related phenomena.) This occurs when
that visual response is not being driven by outside stimuli or by
overly directed visualization.
65. What percentage of left- (logical) and right- (creative, intuitive)
brain do you feel that you currently use?
66. Based on your experience with the intelligence acceleration

exercises in this program, what parts of your brain do you believe
you use most in the exercises?
67. Since practicing the exercises created in this program, do you

find yourself tapping into those unconscious impressions more
readily? If so, give an example, in the space provided below.
68. Do you find that your memory is improving as you work on the
exercises provided in this program? Given the statistic above, what
percentage of your memory do you believe you have conscious
access to? Unconscious access to?
There is a way to describe the images, metaphors, and experiences

in your ImageStreaming techniques that are most effective. In the
list below, note the ways to describe which are “Developers” that
enhance your experience and those that are “Blockers,” which are
ineffective:

for describing in the exercises in this program. Do you have any
examples from the “Blockers” list that could be improved upon? If
so, note them and do an Image-Streaming modifying your
description technique to correct any ineffective habits. Do at least 3
exercises with the intent to correct any ineffective describing habits.
Take note of your experience below, exploring the difference in the
feel and intensity of the exercises after making the correction.
The ineffective methods I have used that I have noted from the
“Blockers” list are:
The outcomes of the modified exercises I have done to correct these
ineffective description technique are:

The Learning and Brain Growth both proceed best as feedback upon
one’s own expressive activities, according to several key programs and
researchers:
i) Sophists developed the first schools, not to teach students but to
provide audiences for leading thinkers and perceivers. These
thinkers developed their perceptions by describing them to those
audiences. Some of these leaders, most notably Socrates,
returned the favor and drew out their hearers (audiences) in turn.
Results of searching one’s own perceptions and of describing what
- 98 -
he or she discovers there are so profound, seemingly so
miraculous in terms of producing leaps of understanding and
growth, that for over 2,000 years most practitioners of the
Socratic Method believed all knowledge and understanding to be
already within the student. That knowledge need merely be drawn
forth into consciousness. “Education” is named from “educare,”
this concept of “drawing forth,” even though most American
schools have long since abandoned education and gone over to
teaching instead.
70. Have you ever had an audience with whom you shared your
perceptions on a subject of interest? If so, how did the experience
stimulate you? If you haven’t, try an experiment and actually create
an audience of a couple of friends or family members and do a 15-
minute session in which you describe your perceptions on a
particular subject, this program perhaps. Describe your experience
doing this exercise, in the space provided below. Did it stimulate you
intellectually?
ii) Maria Montessori, drawing upon centuries of study by the

University of Pisa, based her successes upon so shaping the
learner’s environment that the learner’s own, spontaneous
activities will generate appropriate feedbacks, which do the actual
teaching. Successful with “unreachable” disadvantaged children in
Italy (ironically her method in North America is mainly used
instead with affluent, advantaged children who can also learn
successfully by many others, less effective systems.)
71. Have you ever had any firsthand experience with the
Montessori schooling technique, or do you know of anyone
who has? If so, what was your understanding of the learning
style there?
IV) In Win Wenger’s findings since 1974, people who describe their
perceptions aloud to a live listener or a tape recorder make
remarkable gains compared with those who do not, across a very
wide range of exercises and procedures. People gained a full point of
IQ for every 80 minutes of easy home practice of the Image-
Streaming technique, compared with those students who did not
describe aloud their perceptions to a listener, who showed zero gain.
- 99 -
72. Have you done at least 80 minutes of the exercises provided in
this program? If so, congratulations. You have just raised your IQ and
opened yourself to a magnificent world of possibilities.
v) Marion Diamond’s study with rats concluded that rats raised in

“stimulating” environments but not allowed to play with the toys
directly (who were only able to watch other rats play directly with
the toys), developed brains as shriveled and impoverished as do the
rats who are raised in total isolation in “unstimulating”
environments.
73. Find 3 additional ways that you can become more actively
involved in your own development and learning process, beyond the
exercises provided in this series. Use your imagination, perhaps
Image-Stream on this question and see what comes up
for you. Write your insights, in the spaces provided below.
Insight 1:
Insight 2:
Insight 3:
How many times have you heard it said, “You use only 5 percent to 10
percent of your brain”? Next time you hear anyone say that to you, ask
him or her, “How do you know? Where did that information come
from?” Chances are that he or she will not know. They heard it from
others, who heard it from others. Folklore, not science. Well, when we
get to the science of it, the science is revealing.
It was J.Z. Young, in his A Model of the Brain (Oxford University Press,
1964), who reported the original sample-and-count-one-by-one studies.
What he was counting was the proportion of brain cells that are
developed. Developed at all, meaning myelin sheathe and having
dendritic connection to other brain cells. Yes, it is true that only one
cell in ten is developed, but how well developed? Some cells have been
counted with as many as sixty thousand connections; most of such
cells as we have developed, though, have only a dozen or so
- 100 -
connections at best. Factor those two considerations and it isn’t true
that 10 percent of our brains are developed. More like one trillionth of
one percent of our brains are developed. This leaves a bit of room for
improvement!
74. Does this statistic inspire you to further develop your brain
capacity? Given the tools you have been shown throughout this
program, do you get an indication of just how vast the world of
discovery and information is if we were to spend more time tapping
into it? Discuss your impressions below.
The following 5 points are words of wisdom from Win Wenger:

1) Your immediate first-hand perceptions, however imperfect, are
the surest thing you have.
2) Acting on what you have, rather than what you don’t have, puts
you in control. What you have, you can act with immediately and
at your own initiative. To use what you don’t have requires you
do other things first before you do what you are setting out to
do, and usually through other people and other agendas.
3) Describe or otherwise act in response to your own immediate
first-hand perceptions, and everything positive in the world
comes more and more within your reach.
4) There is no one who cannot. There is no one in the world who
cannot do this much to get started upward, and the road has no
forced endings.
5) The most powerful thing you can do for another is to listen to
him or her with careful attention and respect.

they concur with your ideologies and belief systems?
Discuss any responses you have to them in the space below.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND SUPPORT
MATERIALS
Image-Streaming
A technique of visualization in which you open to and experience
images from the subconscious. By responding to the stimulus by doing
a detailed and rich description of what you are experiencing to a
listener or into a tape recorder, you go into the flow of genius that is
present in your sub-conscious mind.
Lucid Dreaming
Dreaming in a state where you are conscious of the fact that you are
dreaming. You are very present in the dream and usually remember a
